Want to improve GPA

[perrik]

Regarding grad schools - of the programs I've been looking at, about half want a GPA of 3.0 or higher and the rest want a GPA of 3.0 or higher for the last 60 credits. That's ideal for those of us who slacked off in our first collegiate experience but are working hard to make up for it! A couple programs note that they'll consider a lower GPA - you would be on probationary status for the first semester or two, and then as long as your grades are good you're off the double secret probation.

If there's the option of a graduate certificate, or just taking grad classes as a non-enrolled student, stellar grades in those courses should convince the school that you're worthy of the master's program. This is also handy for scoring academic references!
